  Preview: The Outfit (THQ for Xbox 360)
One of the unique aspects of The Outfit is the ability to call in Tanks, Jeeps and combat vehicles at the drop of a hat using the Destruction on Demand feature and should ratchet the game's intensity even further.
These features alone should make The Outfit one of the more impressive 360 online titles to date, and if the finished game is as fun and accessible as it sounds, it should also quickly become one of the most popular with gamers as well.
The Outfit's solo modes sound fun, but the online and multiplayer modes should be the real showcases, allowing massive amounts of destruction and carnage amongst players that should take the genre in a new direction.

 Outfit, The (xbox360: 2006): Reviews
The Outfit does not aspire in the slightest to reflect the sights and sounds of real-life combat in dubya-dubya-two.
I think The Outfit was a good first effort, now all the need to do is wrap the DOD feature in some innovative solid game play and you’ll have yourselves a real winner.
The Outfit, while it presents an interesting spin on the traditional take for a game of its sort, falls short of not only of its own developmental aspirations, but also of the rigorous standards of console gamers.

 Review: The Outfit (Xbox 360)
One of the unique aspects of The Outfit is the ability to call in tanks, encamped guns, extra soldiers and more with the press of a button using the Destruction on Demand feature.
From a gameplay perspective, The Outfit’s pacing is faster and less complex than traditional war sims.
The Outfit’s graphics are decent from a technical standpoint, and it does an excellent job of exploiting the Xbox 360 hardware.

 Review: The Outfit for Xbox 360 on Gamepro.com.
Half action, half strategy, The Outfit blends gameplay elements from Mercenaries, Battlefield 2, and straightforward RTS games like Command and Conquer to create one of the most original games we've seen in years.
The single-player campaign -- which consists of 12 battlefields -- is straightforward and relatively unadorned, with cookie-cutter mission objectives and serviceable enemy A.I. That's not inappropriate, as the campaign serves as a glorified practice session for the riveting Xbox Live modes.
In The Outfit, tanks smash through houses, flamethrowers cook entire squads, and massive artillery strikes reduce city blocks to flaming rubble.

 Chicago Outfit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Outfit is a crime syndicate that has a long and extensive history dating back to long before Prohibition and part of the U.S. phenomenon known as the Mafia.
However, the Chicago Outfit is distinct from its cousins, the "Five Families" of New York's La Cosa Nostra.
All that is known for certain is that the Outfit controls 3 territories divided by the major highways, the territories of West Side, Dupage County, South Side, S. of Eisenhower, NW Indiana and North Side, Elmwood Park, Lake County, which are overseen by area bosses who control street bosses or Lt.s with crews of soldiers.

 The Outfit Game
These were innovative games in their own right but The Outfit would be both innovative and a new challenge for Relic.
At E3 one year later, The Outfit was billed as “Saving Private Ryan meets The A-Team directed by Jerry Bruckheimer.” Everybody knew what we meant — World War II done up to be as stylish and exciting as legally possible.
The Outfit was not only going to be great fun to play; the single player game also revolved around a quite complex storyline.

WP: One of the distinguishing factors for ‘The Outfit’ is the ability to choose one of three different squad leaders.

 The Outfit for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 The Outfit Review
Cross-pollinating genres like this is tricky, and though it puts in a good effort, The Outfit doesn't quite pull it off, leaving both the action and strategy elements compromised.
The titular Outfit is initially comprised of J.D. Tyler, Deuce Williams, and Tommy Mac, three "tough as nails" soldiers doing their part in the European Theater to quash the Nazi threat.
They've each got their specialties--J.D. is good with a rifle and has a knack for detonating enemy vehicles, Deuce packs a bazooka (along with some sweet aviator sunglasses) and is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and Tommy packs a flamethrower and can use tear gas to flush out enemies.

At last year’s E3 when the 360 was unveiled by Microsoft, THQ was one of the first to really hop onto the console and commit a number of games.
One of these was The Outfit and between then and now there wasn't all that much information released about the game.
It's almost impossible not to finish a mission in the outfit as despite the amount of times you die, eventually you will shoot all the enemies.

 Sam Reaves- The Outfit
Traditionally the Outfit engaged in gambling and labor racketeering in addition to “taxing” any large-scale illegal activity such as truck hijacking or burglary.
Nowadays, “Outfit guys want their sons to become investment bankers—that’s where the money is.” The big illegal money is in drugs now, and the fl and Hispanic gangs dominate that.

 The Outfit Review., gameSlave
Although the level of detail in the environment isn't brilliant, there can be a lot of action happening at once and slowdown isn't much of an issue.
During the campaign mode, you get to take control of 3 heroes throughout 12 single player campaign missions, plus an extra 3 Nazi generals for the multiplayer side of the game, each one with their own areas of expertise.
The Outfit, whilst being a fun and enjoyable game to play, is let down by issues that could have been avoided.

The Outfit is charged with finding and taking out Von Beck and Morder and helping get France away from Hitler's grasp.
The Outfit combines the element of an action-packed shooter with a resource management component that becomes critical to the success of your team and your mission at hand.

I though that the outfit would be a pathetic game, the reviews had persuaded me not to buy (and make the mistake of getting perfect dark zero), but woweee i was wrong, i downloaded the demo and this is the one of most engrosing games I have ever played.
The outfit is a terrible game for the xbox 360- the graphics aren't great the gameplay poor and what is the idea of buying weapons and tanks and being able to place them on screen by placing a hulking great green shadow over where you want to put them.

Players will be able to choose from one of The Outfit’s three misfit heroes, Tommy Mac, J.D. Tyler, and Deuce Williams who reprise their roles within the game’s three multiplayer modes complete with unique squad commands (assault, suppress, or tear gas), weapons, and witty commentary intact.
The Outfit supports multiplayer matches over Xbox Live, Split-Screen, or System Link with up to eight players in any number of combinations; one on one, two on two, four on four or, in the case of Classic Deathmatch, eight-man free for all.

 Xbox 360 Previews: The Outfit
The Outfit takes place during WWII and centers on the internal conflict between the two factions of the German Military.
On one side, you have the regular German Army or Wehrmacht, made up of citizen recruits and career officers and on the other side; you have the Nazi SS, Hitler's handpicked Storm Troopers.
So Destruction on Demand in our game means I decide where I want my gun emplacements, I decide when I want my vehicles, I decided when I want reinforcements and when I want a air strike to come in.

 Xbox 360 Reviews: The Outfit
What we have here with Relic’s The Outfit is a hybrid of sorts, a quite unique game, struggling to stand out from a crowd of sequels and me-too shooters.
Now for a lot of dyed-in-the-wool console gamers, the mere utterance of RTS (real-time strategy) causes them to squirm in their seats as butt cheeks tighten.
Trust me, The Outfit is a balls-to-the-wall, non-stop action game, especially when played online, but I will get to that later.

The action in The Outfit is part third-person shooter and part squad-based tactics; the end result is a new spin on an old genre sorely in need of a change.
The designers at Relic have taken a decidedly unorthodox step and pulled the stern and grim overtones out of a genre that thrives on realism and replaced it with all the grit and patriotism of a 1960s chest-thumping war epic.
The destruction in The Outfit is truly a marvel to behold.

Unlike Company of Heroes, The Outfit remains an Xbox 360 exclusive and from what we've seen, Relic is on the right track with this one.
The important thing to note is that if you're looking for an accurate interpretation of WW II conflicts, The Outfit may not be your cup of tea, since you'll be experiencing unrealistic stuff like Sherman tanks, jeeps and anti-tank guns being dropped on demand straight into the fray.
The Outfit allows players to go through 12 intense single-player missions, each offering a variety of challenges.

The Outfit started off-track betting and Top 40 charts and, in its declining years, the Outfit's "fixer," Sidney Korshak, vetted the cast of The Godfather.
He tries to put Murray Humpfreys in everything, involved with everything, and he probably was--but he relies on this Outfit bigwig's ex-wife for most of the information obtained in this book, and he regards her as some kind of Outfit associate (she is the source of the inaccurate information for the double murder mentioned above).
When he cites an article called "Mob Lite" stating that there are only 50 outfit members remaining, he left out the part stating that there are at 700-1200 associates remaining and how they are more sophisticated than ever.
